Fusion Fall Drabbles

Dexter, boy genius, is followed through various points of the war, from dealing with his "stoopid" sister to dealing with the stress of being Earth's only hope.

5. Speak Up

Dee Dee played with her iPod on Dexter's speakers. Currently, "Potential Break Up Song" was playing, and Dexter was scowling at the speakers. "Could you turn it down, PLEASE?" he shouted over the pop music blaring in his face.

"What?" Dee Dee yelled.

"Turn it down!"

"Huh?"

"Turn it DOWN!"

"HUH?"

The music stopped when Dexter finally screamed, "TURN IT DOWN!"

"Oh. Sorry. Couldn't hear you." Dee Dee shrugged, starting the music again. "You'll have to speak louder next time!"

Dexter face-palmed his forehead before sighing and going back to work, like the good little workaholic he was.
